They would be happier there. Also, if the betta is aggressive, or gets aggressive, the cherries will be limited on hiding places, even if it is planted. |

sham   Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004 | Cherry barbs are one of the exceptions to the rule and are not a schooling barb. They prefer a pair over a full size school. I'd go with either the barbs or the betta along with the adf instead of both. |
